Well that's good news !
One last thing : how do they feel on hot days ? They "seem" to be very hot as they're made of real leather. If you tell me they are ventilated enough, I wouldn't have any more reason not to buy them (well except that it is kinda complicated to get some of those here in France).

We are ending a damn extreme summer for where I live in Oz. I don’t like to ride when it is above the mid 30’s but I do at times, while I feel f’n hot I can’t say that my feet have been anymore uncomfortable than the rest of me...... and mine are black. If I buy the 402’s they will be black also, don’t think it is an issue, may be the amount of ventilation but YMMV

Ok thank you for the answer. I'll test the fizik next week and if they don't feel good, I'll go for the CX 237's.
